Kyle Wood

Dedicated and physically capable worker with experience across Australian Border Force, corrections and construction. Experienced in safety-focused, highly regulated and physically demanding environments where following procedures, identifying hazards, communicating clearly and working effectively as part of a team are essential.

I am now looking to build a long-term career in Drill & Blast and am prepared to start at ground level, learn from experienced personnel and develop the practical skills required to become a reliable member of a Blast Crew.

I bring hands-on construction experience, strong safety awareness, equipment awareness, physical work capacity and a proven ability to remain calm and focused in demanding environments. I am comfortable with FIFO, remote locations, 12-hour day and night shifts and working outdoors in changing conditions.

I bring a combination of practical construction experience and operational experience from highly regulated environments. My construction background means I am comfortable with physical work, working outdoors, handling equipment, working at heights and being part of a crew.

My Australian Border Force and corrections experience has developed my discipline, safety awareness, situational awareness, communication and ability to remain calm under pressure. I understand the importance of following procedures, working safely and being reliable in a team. I am looking to start at ground level, learn from experienced people and build the skills needed to become a dependable member of a Drill & Blast crew.

I would plan ahead to ensure I arrive in Perth rested and prepared for the journey to site, allowing time to adjust to the time difference and maintain appropriate sleep before commencing work.
